Dzeko scores, Ndoye concern, Cancellieri shines: friendlies round-up 👀 | OneFootball

There's less and less time until the start of the 2025/26 season, and many Serie A teams have already taken to the field in their first friendlies.

Today, six clubs from our league played, and all of them achieved a win that gives them confidence.

Bologna-Virtus Verona (7-0)

Bologna overwhelmed Virtus Verona 7-0 in their second summer friendly. The game was over by the end of the first half, with goals from Lucumí (33′), Orsolini (36′), and Ferguson (40′). In the second half, El Azzouzi scored the fourth goal, followed by a gem from Immobile (78′), a beautiful free kick from Holm (81′), and the final seal from Dominguez in stoppage time.

However, what sparked discussion was Lodovici's harsh tackle on Dan Ndoye in the early minutes. Hit on his left foot, the Swiss winger left the field limping and upset, heading straight to the locker room (HERE ARE THE DETAILS OF THE INJURY).

Fiorentina-Fiorentina U20 (8-0)

Good start to the season for Stefano Pioli's Fiorentina, who easily beat the Primavera team 8-0 in their first summer friendly. A useful test to accumulate minutes and start experimenting with the first tactical solutions in view of the new season.

Dodô stood out, scoring the first goal and appearing in great condition. First Viola goal for Dzeko, who scored the third after Kean's double. In the second half, several young players shone, including Jacopo Fazzini: goal, assist, and a lot of personality for him, and Ndour, who scored a hat-trick.

Lazio-Lazio U20 (3-0)

Good start to the season for Sarri's Lazio, who beat the Primavera team 3-0 in their first test at Formello. Pedro broke the deadlock at 42' with his classic left-footed shot on Noslin's assist, closing a first half without great excitement.

In the second half, Cancellieri shone with a great goal from outside the box at 68', while Basic scored the third at 90' on Belahyane's invitation. A useful friendly to check the condition and start testing the mechanisms in view of the new season.

Successes also for Parma, Pisa, and Verona

Not only the big Serie A teams. Today, three other Serie A teams took to the field, and all of them achieved success. Cuesta's Parma won 3-2 against the Under 20 team, while Verona and Pisa thrashed Rovereto (9-0) and the Valle d'Aosta representative team (7-0), respectively.
